A Bingley pub will be transformed in a £280,000 revamp.

The Glen in Gilstead (above), which is owned by Punch Taverns, shut its doors for six weeks on April 8, with building work expected to start this week.

Operator Neil Pickles, director of Pickles Business Management, which has five sites across Yorkshire, said: “The pub was looking very tired and with the investment, it will be restored back to its former glory with a more contemporary look and welcoming feel.”

Work is expected to be completed in May.
